THE AMI LAW FOR BOTH.

Whenever the young ladies refuse all
attentions from young men who drink and
secretly run after lewd women, says the
Fagne Citizen, the door of society re-
form will be thrown W ide open. The foul
est, profanest, tobacco-saturated young
reprobate seeks and is The accepted COM
pany of pure and good girls. Convince him
that the young women to whom he is pay
ing his attention either uses tobacco,
liquors, or is p~rofane or vulgar in her lam
guage, and he will fly the track quicker
thar a crazy race horse. He demands
moral ~cleanness of his young lady associ-
ate if his intentions are good but Of
fers her nothing in return. And the worst
oft is that the young ladies and their parents
quietly ignore low morals in young men, if
they wear good clothes and are adroit
enough to be caught only now and then
indulging in social impurities which would
forever damn a respectable young woman.
Whenever the associations OF the young
are based upon absolute equality of the sex
in morals, society will become more pure.
4 sweet young woman has as much right
to demand that her prospective husband
shall come to the altar absolutely pure as
the clever and otherwise noble young man,
has to demand purity of his prospective
wife. Should the least suspicion come over
his mind, even when dressed for marriage,
that she had even once befouled herself
with the habits he pretends to think are no
discledit to himself, he would disappear
as though shot out of a gun. Give us one
same moral law for men and women.
